Smarter Construction Cleanups for Ithaca
New York State generates over 18 million tons of construction and demolition debris annually, making up nearly half of all statewide waste. That’s a massive impact and a major reason why we take the extra step to reuse and recycle as much as we can.
Even in cities like NYC, construction debris can total 6 million tons a year, showing just how fast this type of waste adds up.
We Don’t Just Dump and Run
When we haul away construction debris, we sort through it pulling out anything that can be reused or recycled. It’s a simple extra step that keeps waste out of the landfill.
Useful Materials Stay in Use
Leftover lumber, fixtures, and hardware that still have life get passed along, not tossed. We work to keep good materials in circulation, not buried.
Recycling Is Part of the Job
We separate metal, cardboard, and other recyclables from the load. If it can be recycled, we’ll make sure it gets there.
Every Bit Counts
Less waste in the ground means more good for Ithaca. That’s the kind of cleanup we believe in.
